The Town Meeting.
The reporter’s detailed account of the
proceedings at yesterday’s town meet-
ing, appearing elsewhere in to-day’s
GAZETTE, shows the meeting to have
been one of unusual importance and in-
terest to our citizens, and the outcome
of it, such as will prove reasonably sat-
isfactory to the town’s taxpayers and
well-wishers.
The action as to bridges, and the pur-
chase of a steam road roller and crusher,
was particularly wise and gratifying.
09--
Delaware Given to McKinley.
Governoflr Watson, of Deleware, has
arrived at the very sensible conclusion
that the aflix “Sr.” is no part of a man’s
name, and that the votes cast for James
G. Shaw and James G. Shaw, Sr.. fer
Presidential Elector, were cast and
should be counted for one and the same
man.
This decision gives McKinley the
three electoral votes of Delaware, to
which he was clearly entitled if the in-
tentions of a majority of the voters are
given effect. He did not need the vote
to elect him, but he would have been
defrauded out of one vote the citizens
of Delaware intended to give‘him had
the decision been otherwise.
Two New Soutnern Senators.
Two ‘new senators will represent
Georgia and Alabama in the places of
Gordon and Pugh. This has been de-
cided by the result of a legislative cau-
cus in each State. Alfred S. Clay will
succeed General John B. Gordon from
Georgia and General E. W. Pettus will
succeed Senator James L. Pugh of Ala-
bama
Both are men of good reputation and
of sufficient ability to represent their
States creditably. Both are free coin-
age men, but as the result of the recent
election has made free coinage an im-
possibility, their predilection for
Bryan‘sm is not likely to last long.
They are both too sensible to continue
to advocate a lost cause.
Pretty Free Silver Coinage.
It may surprise the people who were .
lately complaining of the demonetiza-
tion of silver to learn that more than
16,000,000 of silver dollars were coined
in the ten months from February 1 to
November 1, or more than twice as
many as in all the years of so-called
free coinage from 1792 to 1873.
This coinage is from the bullion pur-
chased under the act of 1890, and ex-
cept so much as represents the differ-
ence between the cost of the bullion
and its nominal coinage value, it adds
nothing to the volume of. the currency,
the law requiring an amount of silver
to be held in the Treasury equal in cost
to the amount of Treasury notes out-
standing.
The advantage of converting the bul-
lion into coin is that it. puts it in avail-
able form to be exchanged for Treasury
notes when desired, these notes being
then cancelled. The gradual retire-
ment of all of these notes would simpli-
fy the currency without increasing the
proportion actually based upon silver.
O
TO DETECT CONSUMPTION.
Dr.
Holmes Tells a Medical Congress
About an Important Discovery.
Many interesting papers were read
before the Pan-American Medical Con-
gress yesterday, but that of Dr. A. M.
Holmes, of Denver, 001., on his discov-
ery of a new treatment of consumption
from morphology of blood attracted
the greatest interest, and was the sub-
ject of considerable discussion.
Dr. Holmes’ paper was entitled “The
Diagnosis of Tuberculosis by the
M ology of the Blood.” It con-
tained a presentation of the manner in
which he made the discovery of detect-
ing the tubercular germ in the human
lood before the system has been at-
tacked and at a time when it may be
eradicated by the treatment of any
physician. Dr. Holmes' discovery has
been discussed very widely in medical
and personally present the subject to
the congress.
The manner in which the discovery
wcs made while he was experimenting
with blood Mom was interesting to the
professional men present. He had
noticed under a microscopic examina-
tion a ,difi‘erence in the shape and for-
mation of the corpuscles, especially of
consumptives, and extended his re-
searches, with the result that more than
one hundred total strangers were
brought to him for examination, and in
each case he had either detected the
presence of the disease or announced
the extent to which it had made in-
roads on the patient.
This discovery, while not a cure,‘ is
considered by many to be more far
reaching than hatcf Proffi Koch, in
that the disease is discovered at a time
when it is a simple matter for any physi
circles, and he was invited to be present '
